If your school chalkboard came in some of the fantastic colors from Hudson Paint, you might reconsider. I recently stumbled upon this fun twist on the standard green or black options, at www.hudsonpaint.com.
Check the “Our Ideas” section for inspiration. Enjoy!
Turquoise! You read it correctly, Turquoise. This year’s color has an easily recognizable name and immediate color association, unlike last year’s bold yellow choice entitled “Mimosa”. In my opinion, it also is a much more practical color, both in interior design and home staging as well as fashion.
Turquoise as a color has both warm and cool undertones, and it is the perfect match for neutrals such as beige and brown, offering a variation of the popular blue and brown color combination. We’ve seen it for years in jewelry and fashion, both as a statement of casual sophistication, earthy charm, and now as couture.
In staging, I recommend using it as an accent color, to bring depth and dimension to rooms, as it has just the boldness needed to provide the much needed “pop” in online photos. I can see using it as a throw, in pillows, and decorative accessories. I love this boucle throw from Crate and Barrel, also available in green.
For practical application as a paint color, try Benjamin Moore’s Turquoise Mist or a bold accent, Tropical Turquoise, also from Benjamin Moore.

Our team recently completed Staging this amazing home in McLean, Virginia and it has just been listed! We had a huge crew of 4 movers and 5 Stagers to assist this home owner in preparing her home for sale, as well as downsizing for the upcoming move. Working amongst the most luxurious of furnishings, this project was a complete pleasure from start to finish.
